appear_v first_o by_o this_o that_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o all_o person_n to_o consecrate_v the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n in_o the_o supper_n but_o only_o to_o such_o as_o be_v lawful_o ordain_v by_o the_o imposition_n of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o pastor_n and_o bishop_n according_a to_o the_o succession_n since_o the_o apostle_n till_o our_o time_n and_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o suppose_a reform_a church_n be_v not_o ordain_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o pastor_n who_o have_v power_n by_o succession_n of_o one_o to_o a_o other_o since_o the_o apostle_n so_o that_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o such_o minister_n usurp_v the_o office_n that_o pertain_v not_o to_o they_o can_v not_o make_v any_o consecration_n and_o by_o consequence_n they_o give_v but_o common_a bread_n and_o wine_n of_o which_o article_n shall_v be_v speak_v when_o we_o handle_v the_o sacrifice_n and_o priesthood_n second_o to_o make_v consecration_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n it_o suffice_v not_o that_o the_o person_n be_v fit_a to_o consecrate_v the_o matter_n but_o it_o be_v also_o necessary_a that_o by_o a_o certain_a

first_o observe_v wherein_o because_o the_o minister_n albeit_o they_o be_v lawful_o ordain_v and_o have_v authority_n and_o power_n to_o consecrate_v do_v not_o use_v benediction_n and_o pronunciation_n of_o certain_a word_n upon_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n impugn_v first_o that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n do_v and_o after_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o apostle_n and_o their_o successor_n to_o do_v so_o they_o can_v not_o pretend_v any_o consecration_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n nor_o that_o in_o they_o do_v come_v any_o mutation_n whereof_o it_o follow_v that_o as_o they_o differre_fw-la not_o from_o other_o bread_n and_o wine_n so_o that_o banquet_n and_o feast_n be_v but_o common_a and_o that_o it_o be_v blasphemy_n to_o attribute_v to_o it_o the_o name_n of_o christian_a supper_n and_o this_o be_v a_o party_n cause_n why_o we_o say_v the_o minister_n supper_n be_v a_o banquet_n profane_a and_o pollute_a we_o have_v require_v the_o minister_n to_o answer_n

to_o impugn_v their_o answer_n only_o we_o summon_v they_o eftsoon_o to_o answer_n that_o which_o be_v propon_v to_o they_o without_o shift_v of_o the_o conference_n which_o they_o pretend_v to_o

to_o the_o confection_n of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o matter_n or_o element_n and_o the_o word_n the_o minister_n answer_v that_o the_o sacrament_n consider_v in_o his_o perfection_n

of_o the_o supper_n or_o general_o of_o all_o as_o they_o be_v ask_v albeit_o in_o respect_n they_o allege_v ireneus_fw-la it_o may_v be_v easy_o guess_v that_o they_o mean_v not_o but_o the_o

certain_a word_n must_v be_v use_v for_o the_o confection_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o what_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n the_o minister_n have_v say_v that_o the_o base_a and_o secret_a speech_n of_o certain_a word_n address_v to_o the_o element_n be_v not_o a_o necessary_a speech_n to_o the_o confection_n of_o the_o sacrament_n we_o do_v not_o demand_n whether_o that_o speech_n shall_v be_v pronounce_v high_a or_o low_o but_o the_o question_n be_v if_o there_o be_v any_o necessary_a speech_n to_o make_v the_o sacrament_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v pronounce_v upon_o the_o matter_n or_o in_o administer_a the_o matter_n and_o what_o may_v be_v those_o word_n for_o the_o supper_n wherein_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o say_v that_o the_o word_n by_o the_o which_o the_o ordinance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v declare_v be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o sacrament_n but_o they_o must_v answer_v in_o what_o word_n that_o speech_n consist_v and_o when_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v pronounce_v touch_v the_o six_n demand_v which_o be_v the_o principal_a the_o minister_n care_v not_o to_o answer_n pertinent_o and_o clear_o only_o they_o exhibit_v a_o

and_o so_o do_v they_o temper_v their_o speech_n that_o there_o be_v neither_o zuinglian_n nor_o almanist_n which_o confess_v not_o as_o much_o or_o more_o than_o they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o
